Golf Live heads to Celtic Manor for 2013

The hugely popular Golf Live Event will return for its fourth consecutive year from May 10-12.

For the first time, it’ll be staged at 2010 Ryder Cup host venue Celtic Manor, and Golf Live Ambassador Colin Montgomerie will return to the scene of his triumph as European captain.

The eight-time European Tour Order of Merit Champion will be hosting a range of interactive clinics and game-improvement sessions at Golf Live’s theatres.

They include the Main Theatre – where some of the world’s best players give masterclasses and show off their talent – and the Golf Live Theatre, which will host sessions of trick shots, equipment profiles and academy-style lessons.

There will also be a short game and bunker area in the main theatre, and a Junior Golf Academy – an interactive area for juniors to learn and develop their game.

Three-time European Tour champion Soren Kjeldsen and renowned trick-shot artist Paul Barrington have also been confirmed for the event.

Kjeldsen will be making his Golf Live debut, and will be helping to demonstrated how to get up and down from a range of real-life scenarios in the Cleveland/Srixon Short Game Zone.

“I’m really excited to be making my appearance at Golf Live having heard so many good things about it over the past three years,” said Kjeldsen.

“I enjoy meeting club golfers in pro-ams and Golf Live will give me a better opportunity to pass on more advice on how to get the best from their games.”
